How to stop getting updates for STS when I want to stay on LTS

[paulomorgado]

Now that .NET 9.0 has been released, how do I stop getting updates to 9.0 libraries when I need to stay on 8.0?

I know 9.0 libraries have 8.0 targets, but with different support lifecycles.

Using:

<PackageVersion Include="Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Abstractions" Version="[8.0.2,9.0.0)" />

instead of:

<PackageVersion Include="Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Abstractions" Version="8.0.2" />

Does not report an available update to 9.0.0.

But, if I use:

<PackageVersion Include="Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Abstractions" Version="[8.0.0,9.0.0)" />

It will offer an update to 8.0.2, but will change the declaration to:

<PackageVersion Include="Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Abstractions" Version="8.0.2" />

and then offer an update to 9.0.0

Closing in favor of #5725 which is the feature request that would provide this functionality.
